Yes, I am starting a blog.
Why?
Well, for several reasons...
First and foremost, I have things to say, and my hope is to further discussion, maybe even intelligent discussion, on topics near and dear to me. There is nothing wrong with opposing viewpoints. Debates, even arguments, are essential for growth and the acquisition of knowledge.
Second, I am a decent writer and editor, but I want to improve in both of these disciplines. By putting a blog out there, I seek to challenge and better myself and my abilities. Vulnerability is a fear of mine, and this blog will force me to face my fears publically. Be gentle.
Finally, this blog represents my thoughts/opinions -- and my thoughts/opinions alone. I am not speaking on behalf of any affiliation I may have professionally or academically. My intent is not to preach but to encourage discourse. No one is obligated to read this blog, but if you do, please feel free to email me your insights, encouragement, suggestions, advice, etc. I welcome the feedback.
I am new to this -- please be patient as I explore all that blogger.com has to offer.
James
